DateTimePicker : using the "/" character

[Lobrys]

Hi!

I am using the dateTimePickerAdv in dd/MM/yyyy format.... and auto forwarding mode

I would like that the "/" character can be seize (explicit) or not (implicit)...
in fact, I want to have the same result if I enter "12122004" and "12/12/2004"

Is it possible?

Thanks!

Hi Lobrys, Could you please clarify if i understood your requirements correctly. 1) You need the behavior of Autoforwarding but do not want the "/" key to forward to the next field. If so here is a sample that shows how you can do that DateTimePickerBackSpaceKey_6144.zip The effect of entering "12122004" and "12/12/2004" would be the same, the "/" characted would be ignored. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thanks.

hello

thanks for your help!

Yes, I use the autoforwarding behavior, but I still want to permit the "/" key to forward

Here is some exemple :
when enter "12122004", results : 12/12/2004
when enter "12/12/2004", results : 12/12/2004
when enter "1/1/2004", results : 1/1/2004
when enter "01012004", results : 1/1/2004

in fact....
in your sample application, in function ProcessCmdKey, I need to know the value of the current field...
if the current value is "1" and the key taped is "/", I forward to the next field
if the current value is "1" and the key taped is "1", the new value must be "11"
if the current value is "11" and the key taped is "/", I forward to the next field

so, is it possible to do this?

THANKS!!!!!
